Join Lummi Island author and illustrator Nina Laden as she talks about her three latest books for children, Once Upon a Memory, a poetic picture book about the world as seen through the eyes of a curious child asking what we will remember of the world; Peek-A-Zoo!, a board book with colorful illustrations and die-cut windows to “peek” through; and Daddy Wrong Legs, an interactive mix and match book with split pages to create a bevy of daddies.

Nina Laden is an award-winning, best-selling children’s book author and illustrator who lives in Seattle and on Lummi Island, WA, but mostly she lives in her imagination. She grew up in the New York City area, the daughter of two artists and received a BFA from Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. She has more than a dozen books in print including The Night I Followed the Dog, When Pigasso Met Mootisse, and Roberto the Insect Architect. Peek-A-Who? has sold almost a million copies and there is a new OWL plush toy for sale to complement the book. Nina visits schools, libraries, and speaks at events. She loves to inspire children and adults to be creative. Read her blog, thenightifollowedtheblog.blogspot.com or visit her website, www.Ninaladen.com.
